Tree Plantation Projects
While members plant trees throughout the year, it is relatively easier to do so during the monsoon season. Planting trees in this sacred period of Chaturmas can be particularly fruitful.
The following tree plantation projects are proposed for this year. Volunteers can take up one or more projects according to their interest and feasibility.
-
Mother’s Garden / Children's Green Corner: Each divine family with a space of 3'x3' in their courtyard, terrace, or balcony can establish a Mother’s Garden (Children's Green Corner) by planting 50 saplings and nurturing them until they grow big by 2026.
-
Shraddha Ropani: Each Shaktipeeth can prepare a 10'x10' nursery that can accommodate 500-1000 plants. These plants can be gifted as Taru Prasad on birthdays and anniversaries.
-
Utilization in 2026: The plants grown in the above-mentioned projects (1 & 2) will be used in 2026 for the Mother Bhagwati Smriti Van (Memorial Forest) on the occasion of Mataji’s centenary year.
-
Centenary Plantation Drive: In celebration of Mataji’s birth centenary, develop vacant lands, hillocks, schools, riverbanks in your area into Mother Bhagwati Memorial Gardens. These can also be used for collective tree planting under the Taru Putra scheme.
-
Health in Pots: Plant 20 selected medicinal plants at home in pots to maintain general health.
-
Mini Health Garden: For the health and vitality of family members, grow medicinal plants like Tulsi, Giloy, Aloe Vera, Lemongrass, Vasa (Adhatoda), Turmeric, Ginger, Kalmegh, and Sharapunkha at home in pots.
-
Vegetable Garden: Develop home gardens to raise awareness about the environment and provide chemical-free vegetables for family nutrition.
-
Seed Bombs: Prepare balls of cow dung and soil with seeds of seasonal fruits like mango, jamun, and bael. Place these seed balls in vacant areas or during travels, and they will sprout with the rains.
-
Tulsi Vrindavan Establishment: Establish Tulsi plants in homes and distribute them.
-
One Member One Tree: If nothing else, every family member can at least plant one tree during this period. Ideally, a family of four should plant at least four saplings and take care of them for at least one year. This small effort can lead to the plantation of millions of trees. Inform us of the number of trees planted by your family directly or through your local organization/Shaktipeeth so that we can track the total number of trees planted.
-
Raksha Bandhan Tree Planting: On Raksha Bandhan, brothers and sisters should plant a tree in each other's names and present it as a gift.

Where and How to Plant Trees ?
-
On Your Own Land: If you have your own land, it's best to plant as many trees as possible.
-
In Cities:
- Plant Ashoka trees on either side of your gate and in front of your house. These trees are beautiful, rich in medicinal properties, and have a compact growth habit.
- If you don’t have bare ground in your courtyard, you can plant less spreading flowering plants like hibiscus and chandni in large pots.
-
Public Areas:
- Plant trees along government roadsides, near railway lines, and in unused public lands. Even if the ownership remains with the government, it's still worthwhile.
- On village roadsides, plant shade-giving and fodder trees, as well as fruit trees like mulberry, jamun, loquat, and jackfruit, which are becoming rare in markets but were once commonly enjoyed by the elderly in their childhood.
-
Barren Lands:
- Utilize vacant lands in consultation with village councils.
- Develop and densely plant grasslands and forests.
- Plant as many trees as possible in village shrines and barren lands.
- Rejuvenate and develop neglected gardens in cities and towns.
- Transform empty plots, which often become garbage dumps, into health gardens by planting Tulsi, flowers, and medicinal plants. This will prevent disease and benefit the local community. Obtain permission from the plot owner if necessary.
-
Water Bodies:
- Plant erosion-controlling and medicinal trees along rivers, lakes, and ponds. Specifically, plant banyan, peepal, and fig trees near ponds, wells, and tanks.
- Plant trees in forests where trees have been cut but not replanted. In jungles and pastures, especially plant fruit trees to provide food for monkeys and other wildlife, which helps prevent them from encroaching on villages and towns due to insufficient food in forests.
-
Community and Institutional Areas:
- Plant trees in the premises of social organizations and government offices.
- Ensure every school plants 24 saplings. This is easier where Indian Culture Knowledge Exams are held.
- Plant fruit and shade trees along national and state highways.
- Plant religiously significant and shade trees in cremation grounds.
- Plant fruit-bearing and agriculture-aiding plants along field boundaries.
- Engage with college campuses to plant trees.
-
Hilly Areas:
- Utilize vacant, barren small and large hills for tree planting.
- Emphasize planting medicinal trees like neem, amla, and Ashoka. Prepare and distribute saplings of these trees.
-
Special Events:
- Distribute tree saplings as Prasad during Yagnas or Deep Yagnas with a vow and set targets for each event.
-
Spiritual and Religious Places:
- At Shaktipeeths, temples, and gardens, establish Nakshatra Vatika, Rashi Vatika, Navagraha Vatika, Vastu Vatika, etc. Put up boards explaining the significance of these trees for greater public benefit.
- At various religious sites, create Kurani, Christian, Buddhist, Mahavir gardens, and Guru's gardens.
- For environmental purification in temples, plant Triveni (Peepal, Banyan, Neem) or Panchvati (Neem, Peepal, Banyan, Jamun, Amla) groves, and Hari Shankari (Peepal, Banyan, Pipal) trees.
An Appeal
Plant at least one tree and take it's entire responsibility just like your son/daughter.
